I had Swift Backup backup my icons from my old OP phone. I restored them and I'm also using Nove Launcher Prime. It's not seeing the icons. Is there a way to use them?
Why restore them? Why not reinstall the pack the way you did initially?
I don't know how you would "backup icons". You could backup the pack and restore it, and also choose the pack from Nova as you did before.
They're not available on Google Play and I'm essentially trying to move them from my OP9.
Nova won't let me search for them (Android sees them as installed but also won't let me select them). To get more themes, it forces me to the store.
OOS saw them and allowed me to change them easily. Seems like changing icons is something not easily done in general on a Pixel
Again not sure what you mean. "Android sees them"? Where? Didn't you use Swift to backup the icon pack apk?

Yes, used Swift. If I do a search in the system settings, I see the different packs as installed apps. However, I can't open them in a launcher, and they're not selectable in Nova's icon settings. I see either "system" theme or "get more" and it directs me to google play.
What happens when you launch the icon pack app?

Here's a screenshot showing what i mean when i do a search for icon in the settings menu. Hope this helps clarify things.
Ohhh wait, you mean the official OnePlus icons? Yeah, those won't work I think, these are baked into the system and won't work on other ROMs. But I think there are a few good looking OnePlus-like packs on Play.

I was hoping they weren't tied to the OP launcher, but I'm thinking you're right. Been hesitant to buy them with so much crap on GP anymore.
Thanks!
Eh there's some pretty nice icon packs to be honest, even better than OP originals covering more app icons

Can you sort icons by name in folders yet (ICS)?
I'm using MIUI GB right now and you can do that. I don't understand why they took that feature out :|
Yes you can sort folders by app name now but is it just me or does this feel like a serious downgrade from the last version?

Yes when u open a folder you can click the edit icon in the top left and change the behavior to default to sort manually.
Also, I seem to have lost the ability to resize Widgets?

i didnt ment the sort of icons in the app folders. i mean on the desktop. if theres an option to let the icons be sort automaticalla on the desktop.
Why doesn't this show up in the playstore for my honeycomb flyer? Just curious.
Unfortunately absolutely horrible compared to the previous version. Lags horribly and is basically the gingerbread launcher. I uninstalled it almost immediately.
Seems much better for me on my One X. The previous version was horrible, I like this one but its faaaar from stable compare to others on the market. They should of have 2 versions though, one optimized for GB and one for ICS, because the lag I feel and slow down might be because its optimized for both, I rather have a version optimize for ICS.
Any possibility of a landscape option?

Nope, in this launcher, it only change the icon theme but not the selection color and page indicator for example. If you use Miui GB then you know.

yeah I know what your saying like in the ICS version from what I've seen the only way to change the page indicators from the normal square is 2 actually edit the apk -resign it etc. etc.
with GB I think they actually have the feature where you can just change that within the app.

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Didn't try anything from playstore,but if you download a theme you have to put it in HWthemes folder in internal storage.
Other option you can download online themes from the themes manager and apply the icons only.

You're welcome. It's not the perfect solution because if you use app drawer, you can't change icons in app drawer but at least you get a better looking Homescreen.

It's the homescreen icons that I wanted to change, and this worked exactly as I wanted. What icon packs have you tried/like?
I used "clix" for a while, because they loke a bit like the stock icons, but now i have a new theme where all icons i have on my homescreen are included except of the telegram icon, so i made it by myself and applied it with icon changer
Hello!
So long story short I have blocked updates on my S8+ because I like my Navbar Black. But recently I removed the "block" and it registrered the update, but didn't download it. But now I have this annoying red "1" batch on the settings shortcut (the one located over the notifications-bar toggles). Anyway to remove this?

Hey try clearing data for software update and settings app . Mostly clearing for software update app will be enough.
Seriously, take the update, it is security relevant and has the hiding navbar. Use the navbar app app (yes), to keep it any color you like. Free and lightweight.
I seriously urge you to take the update because of the patches in there.

I have been considering taking the update.. Mostly because I've heard there should be another update on the they where you can control battery hocking app more.
That said I can already hide my navbar with Custom Navigation Bar (app), BUT I hate not having the navbar there at all times.. It's so annoying..
Also are you 100% sure Navbar apps can overwrite the system color?
Also I've heard people say the navbar is no longer transparent on the homescreen? And that is just ridiculous..

Ohh nice! Thank you, do you use Navbar apps? Hide it? Or just use some of the other colors?
Can you tell me which other colors you can use now?
Nav bar is transparent on home screen, I can confirm.
Screenshot attached.
Just tried "Navbar apps" by Damian Piwowarski in app store but it only works partially. It will turn the bar black when I am inside the navbar apps app and it is black when i open the app store, contacts screen, chrome, gallery, citymapper and some others, but on the home screen in Nova (the worst one since it looks ridiculous with my black background), and in bluemail and CM browser it is still white. Perhaps it is a different app @corwin_amber was talking about?
I think, we are both talking about the same app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps
I am using Nova Prime launcher, however and even Substratum for Samsung (no Root, would never do that) to theme everything to my likes and needs.
To me, personally, having a secure device is important, maybe different priorities (which is completely fine to me).

THIS IS A PIXEL MOD FOR THE NEXUS 5X RUNNING ANDROID 8.0 (O-DP4)
UPDATED MOD HERE https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/themes-apps/zip-android-oreo-pixel-mod-t3663681
I apologize for the absence and silence. I'm excited that people here are trying to help out others too. I know the answers to some of the questions asked and I'm sorry for the silence. I went camping over the weekend and returned home to 2 giant bombs on my life. I've been working out some personal issues since then. I haven't played with apktool 2.2.4, but I'm excited about it. I'll get back to this as soon as I can, and hopefully this will bring some exciting updates
Here's an updated Pixel Mod built for O-DP4! :highfive: The navigation bar + animation is still an issue. But hopefully APKTool 2.2.4 will bring full support for Android O soon or hopefully I'll find another way. The "Double Tap to Check Notifications" is almost ready I believe. So stay tuned for that.
Also, I've added a custom feature to the Pixel Launcher. The Pixel Launcher in Android O allows you to choose different icon shapes (such as square, rounded square, etc.)? For those who want this mod with stock icons, I added the stock icons into that setting. Just look for "Stock Nexus"!
I don't have a Nexus 5X to test this, but the work is the same. So I've created the same mod for the Nexus 5X. Because I don't have the phone to test, feedback would be much appreciated.
If you get a problem with Pixel Launcher repeatedly force closing, go into settings from your quick settings and grant Pixel Launcher notification access. Thanks to
Queentus for the fix!
What's Included:
-O-DP4 Pixel Launcher W/ Wallpapers (Make sure to grant notification access for notification badges)
-O-DP4 Pixel Audio
-Pixel XL 1440p Boot Animation Blacked Edition (Thanks to Luthepa1)
-Pixel Blue Accent Color :good:
-Night Mode
-Round Icons
-"Stock Nexus" Icon Shape Available in Pixel Launcher Settings (See Screenshot)
What's Missing / Being Worked On:
-Pixel Navigation Bar Animation
-The New "Double Tap To Check Notifications" Feature"

Common Questions/Issues & Answers/Solutions
Tinted Nav Bar? Pixel Nav Bar?
-Not yet, still roadblocked on that one. Not giving up though.
Pixel Launcher is crashing repeatedly after flashing this mod!
-Go into settings from your quick settings and grant Pixel Launcher notification access. Thanks to
Queentus for the fix!
Not all icons are round?
-For some reason, yes. Gmail and Play Store are not converting to round for some reason. Work in Progress.
Substratum?
-This mod may break Substratum. If you want to use Substratum don't flash this mod. If you have, then just reflash your system.img to return to stock. If you want details, look for the footer*.
Notification Dots aren't working?!
-Make sure to enable the Notification Dots too. Go into the Pixel Launcher Settings (tap and hold like if you were adding a widget or changing a wallpaper). In the settings there is a category "Notification Dots". Even if it says "On" tap on it. Make sure "Allow Notification Dots" is on. Mine will do a little glitch like I repeatedly tapped it. I think it's just a bug in the Preview version of Pixel Launcher. But that should bring you the Dots if you don't have it.
Current Version: 2
*
Here's my reply in my 6P thread about this mod breaking Substratum:
"My guess if this mod breaks Substratum, it's not so much the mod, but Android O. Android O introduces it's own native theming support, which is why the Pixel and the Nexus have practically the exact same framework-res.apk. It's because the Pixel is actually utilizing a theme that is found in the vendor.img. If you look at the installed system apps of a Pixel on Android O, there's a new app called Pixel.apk. That's the theme. That shows up just like installed Substratum themes do.
I can guarantee you 100% that I can make this mod work with Substratum though, I've done it over and over again. The problem is I have to enable that theming support on the 6P instead of directly modifying the framework-res.apk. Remember the "Device Theme" setting in the first 2 previews? That's still there. Just hidden. I don't know how to activate it. But if you install the Pixel.apk theme from the Pixel in the vendor partition (has to be done manually) and then install a Substratum theme. What you find is that the "Device Theme" option appears. And you can then choose from your Substratum Theme or the Pixel theme. Just disable the Substratum theme (don't uninstall) and choose the Pixel.
However, I can't make that happen yet in just a flashable zip, so I don't have that as the released mod. But if you want Substratum compatibility, that's the way to do it"
:good:
thanks man download now:highfive:
Uninstalled substratum before install, works great (for me gmail has round icon)
Is it normal that google traduction hasn't the round icone ?
Also icons of other apps that are usually round such as xda labs and adaway are not changing either. No big deal but thought I'd mention it.
Also would appreciate it if someone could upload pixel.apk from the vendor.img. I have no way of extracting it.
Does it have navbar tuner? It's been missing since dp3. That's one feature I need most.
Thanks for your hard work though. ?
For some reason the option to change icon shape does not show to me. All icons are round.
UPDATE
Enabling System UI tuner and developer mode did the trick!

Thanks! I went to the play store and deleted pixel launcher. That did the trick. At first I thought I could do the same within the apps settings. But you have to delete it though he play store.
I like the look of the homescreen of the original better, that's the reason of going back to stock.
